I. Am. Exhausted. Drew and I had the perfect storm of exhaustion today- you know, those times when you are both physically and mentally spent. They mix together and create a thunder storm of exhaustion. Today was by far the toughest day and my sweet husband has barely left the hospital and yet has not complained once. He's the best dad for my precious girls and they are blessed to have him. He has gotten so good at anticipating Mia's needs and making sure she gets exactly what she needs at just the right time. I am so proud of him.
Mia had a better rest of the day. She kept all her Pedialyte down and started formula. She still doesn't really want the formula. We were able to get around 6 oz. down her, but she did throw up a little, but mostly because she choked on her reflux medication. Please continue to pray for her appetite to improve and that it all stays down!
The other problem we are having is that she is terrified and upset at anyone who comes near her. She has been poked, prodded and hurt by so many doctors and nurses that she cries the moment they even look at her. It is so sad. She screams through diaper changes and even simple things like taking to her. We think this has also effected her eating as well. We know her distrust will not go away immediately, but we prays She can begin the process.
Big sister is such a trooper. We have tried to have some special time with her lately and she has been so patient and understanding through the process. Continue to pray for her strength.
Pray for a rejuvenation for Drew and I. We need His strength to get us through the next few days.
